BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -After a meal, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, an immediate source of energy. Excess glucose gets stored in the liver as glycogen or, with the help of insulin, converted into fatty acids, circulated to other parts of the body and stored as fat in adipose tissue.

Detailed explanation-2: -Excess carbohydrate intake places a large metabolic load on the body. When the body constantly has high levels of blood sugars (the end point of food sugar and starch) to deal with over time, this leads to weight gain, poor metabolic health and an increased risk of heart disease.

Detailed explanation-3: -Excess calories are stored throughout your body as fat. Your body stores this fat within specialized fat cells (adipose tissue)-either by enlarging fat cells, which are always present in the body, or by creating more of them.

Detailed explanation-4: -Excess carbohydrates are converted into sugars like glycogen and stored in the body. Thus, glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals and humans which is analogous to the starch in plants. Glycogen is synthesised and stored mainly in the liver and the muscles.
